Due to the popularity of this page on my original blog, I've commenced a new blog called From Dorfprozelten to Australia. You can find it here: http://dorfprozeltenaus.wordpress.com/
In the future I will mostly be posting any key stories for the Dorfprozelten emigrants on the new blog. Although the focus is on the immigrants to Australia, I'd also welcome contact from any Dorfprozelten immigrants who settled in other countries. To contact me please email cassmob at yahoo dot com dot au. (please change to the usual format for emails) or please leave a comment at the end of one of the posts.
One of my broader research interests is learning more about the emigrants from Dorfprozelten in Bavaria to Australia. This interest originated with my own family history research as I tried to learn about my great-great-grandfather, Georg Mathias Kunkel, who emigrated in the mid-1850s. I have been unable to find him in any shipping records to Austalia: assisted; unassisted/unsponsored; crew lists which is why I tried to learn more about his fellow emigrants.
Family anecdotes consistently say the my George came to Australia in the goldrush era and jumped ship. Given that many of Dorfprozelten's men worked on the River Main which runs through Dorfprozelten this is not an implausible story. However unlike many of his fellow emigrants he was unlikely to have left home because of economic necessity: his family ran one of the large inns in the Village "das Goldenes Fass" which was a lucrative business. Perhaps he had wanderlust or perhaps like other young Bavarian men he left to avoid the military draft (another common family tale). Unfortunately he doesn't appear in the Australian records in any of the eastern states/colonies until he marries his young Irish wife, Mary O'Brien in Ipswich Queensland in 1857. At the time he was working as a servant though he later had many occupations: boarding house keeper, pork butcher (in Ipswich and in the northern NSW gold fields at Tooloom); railway worker and farmer. It is probable that he arrived somewhere in Australia two or three years before though after 20+ years of research this remains a mystery.
The migration story of his fellow emigrants is much clearer. Most of these migrants came as family groups under the colony of New South Wales's (NSW's) vinedresser bounty scheme.
In the cold winter days between December 1854 and January 1855, over 50 people left their home village of Dorfprozelten in Bavaria to migrate to Australia. They farewelled not only friends and family, but the traditions and environment familiar to them throughout their own lives, as well as to generations of their ancestors. Their departure represented the loss of 5% of the town's population – an impact which would have rippled through their network of neighbours and family.[i] Although there were occasional single departures, this was the largest mass movement from Dorfprozelten to Australia.
The first known couple to come to Australia were Eugen Nebauer and his wife Caroline Nebauer who arrived in Sydney on 5 August 1852 on the Reiherstieg [ii] . It can only be assumed that their reports back to family and friends in Bavaria were positive and when the bounty conditions became more favourable for families the exodus to Australia commenced.
The first group of four families and two couples was scheduled to sail on the Commodore Perry, a brand new, state of the art clipper ship built for Baines' Black Ball Line in Liverpool.[iii] This group arrived in Sydney on 26 April 1855.
Closer inspection of the Lists reveals an anomaly however. An annotation indicates that 14 of these German vinedresser families actually arrived on the Boomerang, another Black Ball Line clipper, via Melbourne.[iv] Only one Dorfprozelten family, the Josef Zöller family, travelled on the Boomerang though there were close links with another family from nearby Fechenbach, the family of Carl Diflo. The experiences of the German passengers on these two ships appears to have been quite different. The Commodore Perry passengers included a large number of Scottish emigrants travelling to Tasmania and the Bavarians' comments on arrival reflect the first frustrations of living in a different culture. The Boomerang's passengers however experienced the challenges of icebergs and severe storms before arriving safely in Melbourne where they were trans-shipped on the Yarra Yarra to Sydney, arriving there on 21 May 1855.
Meanwhile the third batch of Dorfprozelten families was also on the seas though their voyage was to be quite different again as they sailed on a German ship, the Peru, which left Hamburg on 17 January 1855. Among the 375 emigrants on board were seven Dorfprozelten families or couples (26 individuals). These emigrants had a shocking voyage under poor conditions. They arrived in Sydney on 23 May 1855 and were immediately placed in quarantine due to the presence of scurvy and fever on board. The Sydney Morning Herald of 24 May 1855 described it as being "in a very dirty and disgraceful state." The sailing conditions on German ships were less stringent than on British emigrant ships of the time and the mortality rates reflected this. Among the 32 deaths reported in the Board Lists (36 per the newspaper) were three Dorfprozelten people, two children and one adult: Maria Kuhn, wife of Dominicus Kuhn, who left behind three young children; Clara Kaüflein aged 7 (daughter of Joseph and Anna Kaüflein) and Thomas Neubeck, the one-year-old son of Alois and Clara Neubeck.
Because the vinedresser scheme only applied to families, single people who wished to emigrate had to take private contracts. Among these men were Georg Günzer and Franz Dümig (later Dimmock/Dimmick). The young men were mostly recruited as shepherds to the properties in Moreton Bay district. Despite the intention that the families were sponsored to help develop a wine industry in the colony of NSW with their recruitment being based on prior experience of working in viticulture (sometimes a rather tenuous claim), many if not most of the Dorfprozelten immigrants were employed as shepherds or labourers, often in remote locations. The families probably had little idea of just how far away they'd be from each other but with about half the families being sent to the Moreton Bay district, they were remote not just from each other, but often from any other community. A huge and soul-searing experience for a group of people who had grown up in a familiar, tight-knit village where their families had lived for generations.
Only two of the immigrants had relatives already living in the colony: Eugen Nebauer, the founding Dorfprozelten emigrant to Australia was the cousin of brothers Josef and Vincenz Kaüflein. Two of the female immigrants were sisters: Clara Neubeck and Louisa Wörner. Two of the immigrants were brothers though they had different surnames: Georg Günzer and Dominicus Kuhn. Clara (aka Rosina) Hock was a cousin to these two men.
My presentation to the 2006 Genealogical Congress in Darwin expands on this research with particular reference to the Moreton Bay (Queensland) families. The paper's title was They weren't all Lutherans – A case study of a small group of German Catholics who emigrated to Australia from Dorfprozelten, Bavaria.
I am interested in hearing from anyone who is descended from these Dorfprozelten families. Surnames of their descendants include: Bilz, Coe, Morse; Diflo, Muhling, Ott, Erbacher; Diflo, Nevison; Gunzer, Ganzer, Volp, Hock, Gollogly, Bodman, O'Sullivan; Hennig, Henny, Courts, Robson, Paf, Middlebrook; Kaüflein, Kaufline, Afflick, Agnew, Engelmann, Foran, Goodwin, Lawless, Murrell, O'Keefe, Worland; Krebs, Wistof, Ambrosoli, Miller; Kuhn, Brigden, Rose, Miller; Kunkel, O'Brien, Paterson, Connors, Lee; Zöller, Schulmeier, Brannigan/Branniger, McQuillan, O'Brien.
For another description of Dorfprozelten have a look at this blog post from the Man from Mosel River.

[iii] The Commodore Perry was launched in the American fall of 1854 in the Boston shipyards and is believed to have sailed to Liverpool in December. http://www.eraoftheclipperships.com/page56.html. The Sydney Morning Herald of 27 April 1855, page 4, also describes it as "one of the largest and finest vessels that has entered this harbour." The ship's cargo included 300 tons of coal and 2250 sacks of salt and was captained by Captain G Mundle who also had his family on board. By the time it arrived in Sydney it had 312 passengers in the steerage, ninety-five more than are listed on the Board's List for the ship.

Mark L. Hopkins: Change revisited
When President Barack Obama was running for office in 2008 he used "change" as a part of his campaign slogan. Obviously, it struck a chord with the American public. He is now in year five of his change agenda.
So what has changed? In truth, not much that Obama has had a lot to do with. Gridlock in Congress has kept his agenda for change on the back burner. We are undergoing change in a major way in our country, but most of what is occurring does not find its source in the politics of Washington, D.C. In our nation's capital we are witnessing lots of talk but not much real action. Instead, we are witnessing change every day in the streets of our cities and small towns across our entire country. Change as we all know causes conflict and the greater the change the greater the conflict. So what has changed and what conflict has resulted in the changes that have occurred?
Let's start with one of the major changes. Minorities now make up more than 50 percent of all births in the United States each year, and our public school population is now more than 50 percent from one or another of our minorities. The race of our president reminds us every day that the status quo of wealthy white men making all of the decisions in D.C. and elsewhere is over.
From a political perspective, the key swing states of Texas, Colorado and Arizona, long a part of the Republican right, have the fastest-growing minority populations in the country and will most likely begin to vote on the other side of the political aisle sooner rather than later. Democrats glory in the diversity of their constituents and Republicans debate endlessly how to attract more minorities to their roles.
We have a gay and lesbian tide sweeping the country with marriage laws already changed in two-thirds of the states. These changes are not led by the Republicans or Democrats but, instead, by the courts. Many who oppose such changes assume that the government should assert itself and stem the tide. Marriage to most of us has its foundations in religion. A quick read of the Constitution reveals that the government must not become involved in anything related to religion.
So what can we anticipate will be the next major change for us? How about a sign on the front of your local Democratic headquarters that says, "Hillary for president?" Will we follow the first black president with the first female president? The polls tell us that 43 percent of the electorate will not vote for her under any circumstances. However, 82 percent of the Democrats support her candidacy. And women make up more than half of the voters in every state in the union.
Obviously, change is ongoing and conflict will be a continuing way of life. No matter how much we might like things to be the way they used to be, that ship has sailed.

If the 2012 elections were held today, Teddy Roosevelt has an early "leg up" on the canine vote.
Adams Morgan pug Cachucha brought her owner Johanna Diaz to Nationals Park for Saturday's "Pups in the Park" day, decked out to support her favorite racing president, Teddy Roosevelt.
Cachucha took the pre-game parade seriously, sporting an elaborate "float" that included a Teddy Roosevelt bobblehead doll mounted on her back.
"She was really hoping her float would give him an edge for a win," said Diaz.
"She was soaking in the glory of being on the field, and sending some good vibes for Teddy."
Sadly, the pups simply proved to be a distraction for Roosevelt, but Cachucha got a consolation prize: She was featured on the HD scoreboard and voted fan of the game by the Nationals Park crowd.
"Teddy has always been her favorite," added Diaz. "If she could wear a monocle, she would."
With three more Pups in the Park promotions scheduled for this summer, perhaps Cachucha can start a whole canine cheering section for our favorite president.
…and if a float isn't your dog's thing, there's always the Let Teddy Win T-Shirt for dogs (above).

After shooting into air, assailants strike mother, sister-in-law with rifle butts.
LAHORE, Pakistan, June 12 (Compass Direct News) – In a growing culture of violence here, a traffic incident in Punjab Province this month led to Muslim assailants later mounting an attack on the home of a Christian pastor they have increasingly resented for his evangelism and justice ministries. The attackers threatened more violence if the pastor does not drop assault charges.
A few of the 17 assailants struck the mother and sister-in-law of pastor Riaz Masih with rifle butts after the pastor's brother, who lives at the same multi-housing complex as Masih in Kila Sardar Shah, Sheikhupura district, on June 1 complained to a local councilor about the official nearly driving into his sons. Christian leaders said the roadside incident was only the fuse igniting hostilities that have grown due to meetings held by Christ for All Nations Ministries (CANM).
The meetings have attracted many youths, including some Muslims. Pastor Masih is national coordinator of CANM, a self-supported church-planting ministry. Saqib Munawar, chairman of CANM, said the attack on the pastor's home in the remote village is an indication that as Islamic extremism rises amid a military attempt to flush Islamic militants from the Swat Valley in the country's northwest, a growing culture of violence means minor incidents more easily erupt into attacks.
"As the Swat operation is going on, hostilities against Christians are on the rise," Munawar said. "Extremism, which has flourished in the last few decades, is now creating problems for all Pakistanis. This attitude has promoted violence in the country."
Pakistanis are becoming more violent, he said, and extremism has increased partially in response to evangelism efforts by Christians, he said.
In the triggering incident, pastor Masih's 17- and 18-year-old nephews were standing on the side of a road with their backs to traffic in Kila Sardar Shah when Malik Younus, a village councilor, passed in a vehicle that nearly struck them. The teenagers immediately complained to Younus that he should have at least honked to warn them to step aside.
Younus got out of his vehicle and beat them, Munawar said. They complained to their father, Mushtaq Masih, who then called Younus. Younus threatened to beat them again, and Mushtaq Masih responded that he would have no choice but to call police. Younus became furious, according to Munawar.
Within an hour Younus, his brother Malik Falak Sher and 15 other men armed with automatic weapons and wooden clubs arrived at the multi-family complex where Pastor Masih and his brothers live with their families. The pastor was some distance from home when his 12-year-old daughter called and told him that the Muslim attackers were outside firing into the air.
Rushing to the scene, Masih approached the house from the backyard as the assailants were breaking down the main gate. The pastor managed to lock himself with members of his family inside a room, but his sister-in-law – wife of his younger brother Ilias Masih – and his mother were outside at the time.
Having broken down the main gate and wall and had entered the courtyard, the assailants struck the two women with rifle butts and demanded to know where the boys and their father were. Pastor's Masih's brother, Mushtaq Masih, had also locked himself and his family in a room. The attackers were trying to break down the doors of rooms in pastor Masih's home when one of them called off the assault and they left.
The family reported the assault to police, but officers have done nothing as they have close ties with the attackers – and the assailants also have links with various local government leaders, Munawar said. The intruding Muslims warned pastor Masih and his family that if they contacted police and media, they would face "retribution."
The Station House Officer told Compass that Younus and his cohorts had been released on bail; he would not comment further.
Munawar said the Masih families will likely seek a settlement instead of jail terms.
"The family will probably go for an out-of-court settlement, as they have to live," he said. "However, fears are that such flare-ups may hit back, which would certainly hamper our evangelical efforts."
Rumors spread that a former member of the Punjab Assembly, Agha Gull, was involved in the traffic incident, but Gull told Compass that he was in Iraq at the time of the incident and had nothing to do with it. Gull said someone told him that a clash took place on the road, but that "none of the parties came to me."
Justice Ministry
Certain that the remote village Muslims would not have access to Compass news, pastor Masih told Compass that the antagonists were upset with him also over his efforts to take back lands stolen from Christian families. There are four Christian families in the village of 40 to 50 families.
The Christian villagers had paid for land they have lived on since 1989, but they never received documents for the transfer, leaving the real estate in the hands of Muslim businessman Syed Izhar Shah – whom villagers say is involved in land theft in collaboration with those who instigated the June 1 attack, Younus and his brother Sher.
Last year pastor Masih offered 20,000 rupees (US$250) to the landowner to legally transfer the property with proper documentation, but the owner declined. Pastor Masih's father has also paid some 10,000 rupees for his share of the land. Additionally, Akram Masih, who heads one of the four Christian families in the area, has paid an additional 27,000 rupees (US$335) in an effort to legally obtain his share of the land, but the landowner forbid him to take possession as well.
Younus and Sher are behind a land-grab designed to drive the few Christian families from the area, pastor Masih said. They have illegally taken over a nearby, eight-acre tract of land zoned for a housing tract called Royal Town. Christian villagers had paid for this land also in 1989 – and also without receiving documentation – and the legal land owner, Syed Izhar Shah, is pressuring them to either pay the current price or leave the village, pastor Masih said.
"The attack has been unleashed on the weakest, because there are only four Christian families living in this village," said pastor Masih. "They are vexing us so that we leave the area."
Pastor Munawar said that anti-Christian hostilities resulted in the cancellation of CANM's youth program, which was scheduled for last Monday (June 8).
"The fate of our next program, scheduled on June 21, is also hanging in balance," he said.
Munawar added that last year's annual youth program, held in May, had been secured by armed Christians after an area Muslim tipped them off that their worship could be targeted. The guards were provided licensed .222 Remington rifles.

State Department sought to change Libya talking points
WASHINGTON - Political considerations influenced the talking points that U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice used five days after the deadly Sept. 11 assault in Benghazi, Libya, with State Department and other senior administration officials asking that references to terror groups and prior warnings be deleted, according to department emails.
The latest disclosures Friday raised new questions about whether the Obama administration tried to play down any terrorist factor in the attack on a diplomatic compound just weeks before the November presidential election. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed when insurgents struck the U.S. mission in two nighttime attacks.
The White House has insisted it made only a "stylistic" change to the intelligence agency talking points from which Rice suggested on five Sunday talk shows that demonstrations over an anti-Islamic video devolved into the Benghazi attack.
Numerous agencies had engaged in an email discussion about the talking points that would be provided to members of Congress and to Rice for their public comments. In one email, then-State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland worried about the effect of openly discussing earlier warnings about the dangers of Islamic extremists in Benghazi.
Nuland's email said such revelations "could be abused by members of Congress to beat the State Department for not paying attention to (central intelligence) agency warnings," according to a congressional official who reviewed the 100 pages of emails.
The official spoke only on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to speak publicly about the emails that still have not been released.
The final talking points that weekend reflected the work of several government agencies - CIA, FBI, State Department, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence - apparently determined to cast themselves in the best light as the investigation was just getting underway.
A scathing independent report in December found that "systematic failures and leadership and management deficiencies at senior levels" of the State Department meant that security was "inadequate for Benghazi and grossly inadequate to deal with the attack that took place."
Eight months after the attack, the long-running and bitter dispute between the Obama administration and congressional Republicans on the subject shows no sign of abating.
The GOP argues that the administration deliberately tried to mislead Congress and the American people. The White House insists that Republicans are trying to politicize the issue.
"There's an ongoing effort to make something political out of this," White House spokesman Jay Carney said Friday of the disclosure of the emails, which the administration had provided to lawmakers. "The problem with that effort is that it's never been clear what it is they think they're accusing the administration of doing."
Republicans have complained that the administration was trying to conceal that the attack was the work of terrorists and not a protest over an anti-Islamic film that got out of hand. Such revelations just before the election perhaps could have undercut President Barack Obama's record on fighting terrorism, including the killing of 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden, one of his re-election strengths.
The State Department emails and other internal administration deliberations were summarized last month in an interim investigative report by Republicans on five House committees. New details about political concerns and the names of the administration officials who wrote the emails concerning the talking points emerged on Friday.
Following Capitol Hill briefings in the days after the attack, members of Congress asked the CIA for talking points to explain the assault, and the CIA under the direction of David Petraeus put together an assessment.
It said Islamic extremists with ties to al-Qaida took part in the attack, cited reports linking the attack to the group Ansar al-Sharia, mentioned the experience of Libyan fighters and referred to previous warnings of threats in Benghazi.
The reference to al-Sharia was deleted, but Nuland wrote later that night that changes she had seen "don't resolve all my issues and those of my building leadership, they are consulting with NSS," a reference to the National Security staff within the White House.
She also wrote that she had serious concerns about giving information to members of Congress "to start making assertions to the media that we ourselves are not making because we don't want to prejudice the investigation."
Senior administration officials, including Jake Sullivan, deputy chief of staff at the State Department, and Ben Rhodes, the White House deputy national security adviser, met that Saturday morning to discuss the talking points.
Following the meeting, Deputy CIA Director Mike Morell produced a final set of talking points that deleted mentions of al-Qaida, the experience of fighters in Libya and Islamic extremists.
The next day, Sunday, Sept. 16, Rice appeared on the talk shows and said evidence gathered so far showed no indication of a premeditated or coordinated strike. She said the attack in Benghazi, powered by mortars and rocket-propelled grenades, appeared to be a copycat of demonstrations that had erupted hours earlier outside the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, spurred by accounts of a YouTube film attributed to a California man mocking the Prophet Muhammad.
"In fact this was not a preplanned, premeditated attack. That what happened initially was that it was a spontaneous reaction to what had just transpired in Cairo as a consequence of the video," she said. "People gathered outside the embassy, and then it grew very violent. Those with extremist ties joined the fray and came with heavy weapons, which unfortunately are quite common in post-revolutionary Libya, and that then spun out of control."
Administration officials said Friday they deleted the references to terror groups because it was then unclear - and still is - who was responsible for the attack.
Rice's depiction of the chain of events contrasted with one offered by Libya's Interim President Mohammed el-Megarif, who said at the time there was no doubt the perpetrators had predetermined the date of the attack.
"It was planned, definitely. It was planned by foreigners, by people who entered the country a few months ago," el-Megarif said. "And they were planning this criminal act since their arrival."
At a House hearing on Wednesday, Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., read from an email he said was written by Beth Jones, the State Department official responsible for Near Eastern affairs, the day after the Benghazi attack that suggested the State Department had at least some belief that the attack was the work of terrorists.
According to Gowdy's reading, the Sept. 12, 2012, email by Jones said: "I spoke to the Libyan ambassador and emphasized importance of Libyan leaders continuing to make strong statements. ... When he said his government suspected that former Gadhafi regime elements carried out the attacks, I told him that the group that conducted the attacks, Ansar al-Sharia, is affiliated with Islamic terrorists."
The Republican lawmaker said the email by Jones was sent to a number of State Department officials, including Nuland.
Yet Rice still went on the Sunday talk shows several days later to "perpetuate a demonstrably false narrative," Gowdy said.
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Friday that the department reviewed the talking points on Friday, Sept. 14, and raised two primary concerns.
"First, that the points went further in assigning responsibility than preliminary assessments suggested and there was concern about preserving the integrity of the investigation. Second, that the points were inconsistent with the public language the administration had used to date - meaning members of Congress would be providing more guidance to the public than the administration."
An official familiar with the emails said former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was unaware of Nuland's concerns about the talking points. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because she was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
The White House has long maintained that it played a minimal role in crafting the talking points, pinning that process on intelligence agencies. The White House also said it made just one "stylistic" change to the talking points, which was to change the reference to the Benghazi compound from a "consulate" to a "diplomatic mission."

The glass innovation that made a revolutionary impact on a century of scientific exploration
Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) this year is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the PYREX® brand, representative of an innovation that has become one of the world's most trusted names. For a century, Corning's PYREX glass has been at the heart of groundbreaking discoveries and advancements in medicine, chemistry, space exploration, and other fields.
"PYREX glass is a great example of Corning's expertise in materials science and our legacy of translating science into life-changing products that benefit the world. PYREX glass demonstrates Corning's sustaining technology and product life cycles," said Dr. David L. Morse, executive vice president and chief technology officer.
The PYREX brand has been trusted by scientists for 100 years and remains the leading brand of glassware found in labs around the world today.
"From large research facilities to medical centers to local high school labs, PYREX labware is there," said Dr. Richard Eglen, vice president and general manager, Corning Life Sciences.
The same qualities that made PYREX glass ideal for its initial application of cookware – transparency, strength, and chemical resistance – were also qualities that met the demands of laboratory chemists and scientists from its inception. The outbreak of World War I had prevented American scientists from accessing specialty European glass common in laboratories at the time.
The introduction of PYREX glass in 1915 gave American scientists a replacement that was not only suitable, but superior to the products they had been importing from Europe in terms of chemical stability and heat resistance. Indeed, in 1918, the U.S. Bureau of Standards gave PYREX glass a higher rating than any other known glass for labware.
Today, Corning's PYREX laboratory glassware has become the accepted standard in chemistry labs across the globe, ideal for most laboratory glass applications. With more than 2,400 products now available, Corning's PYREX labware remains a keystone product in important global industries such as chemical research and vaccine production.
Over the last 100 years, PYREX glass has played a key role in a variety of innovative, historic and life-changing achievements and applications:
- In 1913, Bessie Littleton, wife of Corning physicist Dr. Jesse Littleton, baked a cake on a piece of heat-resistant glass being developed at the time – which laid the foundation for the PYREX brand. Corning excelled in the consumer products market for more than 80 years, before selling the business in 1998.
- The first radio message from the South Pole was transmitted over radio antennas using PYREX insulators – which helped preserve maximum strength and clarity of radio impulses, critical to safety in the development of air travel and exploration.
- In 1935, the Hale Telescope on Palomar Mountain in California was made from a 200-inch, 20-ton disk of PYREX glass and was, at the time, the largest glass disk ever manufactured.
- In 1937, PYREX glass was made into tiny bottles to store doses of insulin since the glass was less likely to react with its contents.
- PYREX glass products played an important role in enabling the mass commercialization of penicillin during World War II.
- In the 1950's, Dr. Jonas Salk grew the original cultures for his polio vaccine in PYREX Fernbach flasks.
For more than 160 years, Corning has applied its unparalleled expertise in specialty glass, ceramics, and optical physics to develop products, including PYREX glass that has transformed people's lives. By fine-tuning the formulation and fabrication of glass, Corning scientists will continue to unleash a nearly limitless stream of new capabilities for the future.

RPi Hardware Basic Setup
Getting Started:
Buying Guide - for advice on buying the Raspberry Pi.
SD Card Setup - for information on how to prepare the SD Card used to boot your Raspberry Pi.
Basic Setup - for help with buying / selecting other hardware and setting it up.
Beginners Guide - you are up and running, now what can you do?
Latest RPi 4 Topics - Recent topics on Raspberry Pi 4 and the Pi OS
Advanced Setup - for more extensive information on setting up.
Trouble Shooting - some things to check if things don't work as expected.
Typical Hardware You Will Need
While the RPi can be used without any additional hardware (except perhaps a power supply of some kind), it won't be much use as a general computer. As with any normal PC, it is likely you will need some additional hardware.
IMPORTANT For USB devices other than a mouse and a simple wired keyboard (for USB devices drawing more than 100mA) a powered USB hub is strongly recommended. A technical discussion as to why can be found here. Specifically the RPI's built in USB hub is designed only for "Single current unit" USB devices. Note that when using Revision 2 (or later) boards the problem has been mitigated somewhat with the removal of the USB polyfuses, still due to the limited current the PI can provide to USB devices, due to its main polyfuse, its still recommended to use a hub for all USB peripherals requiring more than 100mA.
The following are more or less essential, and are all available from ModMyPi and The Pi Hut:
- Raspberry Pi board
- Prepared Operating System SD Card
- USB keyboard
- Display (with HDMI, DVI, Composite or SCART input)
- Power Supply
- Cables
Highly suggested extras include:
- USB mouse
- Internet connectivity - a USB WiFi adaptor (Model A/B) or a LAN cable (Model B)
- Powered USB Hub
- Case
- Real Time Clock - If you can't count on Network Time
- SD card reader - if you need to prepare your own SD card
Prepared Operating System SD Card
As the RPi has no internal storage or built-in operating system it requires an SD-Card that is set up to boot the RPi.
- Have a look at RPi Easy SD Card Setup to create your own preloaded SD Card.
- If you want an extensive technical explanation, look here : Create your own preloaded card using any RPi VerifiedPeripherals#SD_cards card you have and this HowTo .
- Preloaded SD cards are available from
the RPi Shop, ModMyPi, The Pi Hut, RS and Farnell.
- For configuration of boot options and extensive graphic modes, look at the Configuration page.
NOTE: An RPi SD card can only be used to boot an RPi. A normal PC will refuse to boot from an RPi SD card due to its formatting.
This guide will assume you have a preloaded SD card. If you want to de-format the SD card, the easiest way is to soft format the card in a Digital Camera.
To check your SD card is compatible with Linux, see RPi VerifiedPeripherals#SD_cards.
Keyboard & Mouse
Most standard USB keyboards and mice will work with the RPi. Wireless keyboard/mice should also function, and only require a single USB port for an RF dongle. In order to use a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse you would need to use a Bluetooth dongle, which again uses a single port.
Remember that the Model A has a single USB port and the Model B only has two (typically a keyboard and mouse will use a USB port each) - see USB Hub below.
To check your mouse and keyboard are compatible with Linux, see RPi Verified Peripherals.
There are two main connection options for the RPi display, HDMI (high definition) and Composite (low definition).
- HD TVs and most LCD Monitors can be connected using a full-size 'male' HDMI cable, and with an inexpensive adaptor if DVI is used. HDMI versions 1.3 and 1.4 are supported, and a version 1.4 cable is recommended. The RPi outputs audio and video via HMDI, but does not support HDMI input.
- Most older TVs can be connected using Composite (a yellow-to-yellow cable). PAL and NTSC TVs are supported. Note that the RCA output is composite video, not RF, so it cannot be connected directly to the antenna input of a TV, you need to connected it the the yellow video input connector, or to the SCART input using a RCA to SCART plug, (adapter).
When using composite video, audio is available from a 3.5mm (1/8 inch) socket, and can be sent to your TV, or to an amplifier. To send audio to your TV, you will need a cable which adapts from 3.5mm to double (red and white) RCA connectors. These red and white can go into the red and white RCA plug inputs of a TV, or a stereo set, or to the above mentioned RCA to SCART plug. Another option for audio (when not using HDMI) is to connect the 3.5mm jackplug to an amplified speakerset. Do not connect the 3.5 mm jack directly to a headset, as the 3.5 mm audio output isn't suitable to drive headsets, only amplifier inputs. Attaching a low impedance load, (such as a headset) to the stereo audio output may lead to distorted sound.
Note: There is no VGA output available, so older VGA monitors will require an expensive adaptor.
Using an HDMI to DVI-D (digital) adaptor plus a DVI to VGA adaptor will not work. HDMI does not supply the DVI-A (analogue) needed to convert to VGA - converting an HDMI or DVI-D source to VGA (or component) needs an active converter. (It can work out cheaper to buy a new monitor.) The lack of VGA has been acknowledged as a priority issue. In a Q/A with Slashdot Eben said that they plan to look into providing some form of add-on.
For detailed information see Rpi Screens.
Power Supply
The unit uses a Micro USB connection to power itself (only the power pins are connected - so it will not transfer data over this connection). A standard modern phone charger with a micro-USB connector will do, but needs to produce at least 700mA at 5 volts. Check your power supply's ratings carefully, and beware cheap knock-offs!. Suitable mains adaptors will be available from the RPi Shop, as well as The Pi Hut's Raspberry Pi Store or eBay. ModMyPi's Raspberry Pi Shop stocks a 5V 2A bespoke charger designed specifically for use with the Raspberry Pi.
You can use a range of other power sources (assuming they are able to provide enough current ~700mA):
- Computer USB Port or powered USB hub (will depend on power output)
- Special wall warts with USB ports
- Mobile Phone Backup Battery (will depend on power output) (in theory - needs confirmation)
- Modern TV with built-in USB (for example, it has been shown to work with the Sony KDL-40HX723 and KDL-55NX813)
- Internet Routers with USB Ports (the BT Home Hub 3 seems to run the Pi nicely)
To use the above, you'll need a USB A 'male' to USB micro 'male' cable - these are often shipped as data cables with mobile phones.
For detailed information about power requirements see RPi Hardware - Power.
You will probably need a number of cables in order to connect your RPi up.
- Micro-B USB Power Cable (see above) picture. This has to be a high quality one.
- HDMI-A picture or Composite cable picture, plus DVI adaptor picture or SCART adaptor picture if required, to connect your RPi to the Display/Monitor/TV of your choice.
- Audio cable picture, this is not needed if you use a HDMI TV/monitor.
- Ethernet/LAN Cable (see below) picture.
The price you pay for an HDMI cable can very wildly and under most circumstances a low-cost cable from a reputable online or local supplier will be absolutely fine, but the definition of what constitutes 'low cost' can vary wildly - for example, in the UK, a 1m cable can be purchased for anything between £1 and £24.99. If, however, you want to drive a display some distance from the RPi (say greater than the ubiquitous 1.8m/6ft), or you are using a video switch to share a display between several devices, then higher quality cables might be wise - for example, a pair of 1m HDMI cables purchased in a UK 'pound shop' worked fine when directly connected between the RPi and a display, but would not give a stable picture when used via an HDMI switch. Replacing the £1 1m cable with a 1.5m cable bought online for £1.30 fixed the problem. For more insight: Why you don't need to spend more than £2 on an HDMI cable
Fully tested cables are available at The Pi Hut's Raspberry Pi Store, and ModMyPi's Raspberry Pi Shop offers a range of High Quality coloured 'Noodle' cables.
Additional Peripherals
You may decide you want to use various other devices with your RPi, such as Flash Drives/Portable Hard Drives, Speakers etc.
For detailed information see RPi Verified Peripherals.
Internet Connectivity
This may be an Ethernet/LAN cable (standard RJ45 connector) or a USB WiFi adaptor. The RPi ethernet port is auto-sensing which means that it may be connected to a router or directly to another computer (without the need for a crossover cable[1]).
Support for USB WiFi adaptors will vary - see RPi Verified Peripherals.
Note: If a Netgear router has a blank in the fourth box of the subnet mask, raspbian will interpret that as a 255, not as a '0' like Ubuntu will do. This will give you a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255 and a useless network connection. Changing the router's setting to put a '0' in the last field and reinitializing the network will fix this.
In order to connect additional devices to the RPi, you may want to obtain a USB Hub, which will allow multiple devices to be used.
It is nearly a requirement that a powered hub is used - this will provide any additional power to the devices without affecting the RPi itself. The USB ports are fused at about 140ma each without an additional external power source. This not enough to power a hard drive, and you may even have trouble powering wireless adapters and other peripherals. There is enough current out there, however, for mice and most keyboards. (see RPi Hardware - Power section).
USB version 2.0 is recommended. USB version 1.1 is fine for keyboards and mice, but may not be fast enough for other accessories.
Not a vital accessory for your RPi, but will help to reduce the CPU's temperature whilst under load. Available from Etsy The Pi Hut's Raspberry Pi Store or eBay
Since the RPi is supplied without a case, it will be important to ensure that you do not use it in places where it will come into contact with conductive metal or liquids, unless suitably protected. Some form of case should be considered, and there is a Rpi case thread on the forum. Cases are also available from The Pi Hut's Raspberry Pi Store and MobileApp Systems.
For detailed information see Rpi Cases.
Real Time Clock
There are a number of possible solutions for real time clocks, but so far, most are either expensive or not particularly friendly.
One promising device is the Cymbet Evaluation board (CBC-EVAL-06) available from digikey for approximately $30. Cymbet is in the business of making small batteries and this eval board is intended just as a demonstration of their product using COTS parts on a small board that plugs directly into the USB. Their product is actually the battery that backs up the RTC memory and oscillator when not receiving power from the USB. However, this demo board is very well suited to this application. Ideally, a maker-oriented company will pick up this reference design and start producing boards based on it at a lower cost in larger volume.
To use this board, you will need some software. libmpsse from Google Code (http://code.google.com/p/libmpsse/) is a GPL library that can talk to the board in user-space.
User friendly software is a work in progress visible on GITHub http://github.com/owendelong/Cymbet-RTC
SD card reader
If you will not use a preloaded SD card to boot from, you will need an SD card reader to prepare an SD card.
Note that the SD card reader will be connected to a traditional PC, not to the RPi. You may use an SD card reader integrated into your PC, or you may use a dedicated USB-connected SD card reader. Note that several peripherals may also be used as an SD card reader, for example cameras, smartphones, camcorders and GPS units.
Expansion & Low Level Peripherals
If you plan on making use of the low level interfaces available on the RPi, then ensure you have suitable header pins for the GPIO (and if required JTAG) suitable for your needs.
Also if you have a particular low-level project in mind, then ensure you design in suitable protection circuits to keep your RPi safe (details will be made available within the RPi Projects, Guides & Tutorials section).
For detailed information see Rpi Low-level Peripherals.
Connecting Together
You can use the diagram to connect everything together, or use the following instructions:
- Plug the preloaded SD Card into the Pi.
- Plug the USB keyboard and mouse into the Pi, perhaps via a USB Hub. Connect the Hub to power, if necessary.
- Plug the video cable into the screen (TV) and into the Pi.
- Plug your extras into the Pi (USB WiFi, Ethernet cable, hard drive etc.). This is where you may really need a USB Hub.
- Ensure that your USB Hub (if any) and screen are working.
- Plug the power source into the main socket.
- With your screen on, plug the other end of the power source into the Pi.
- The Pi should boot up and display messages on the screen.
It is always recommended to connect the MicroUSB Power to the unit last (while most connections can be made live, it is best practice to connect items such as displays and other connections with the power turned off).
If you use both a R-PI power supply and a powered hub, its recommended you connect them to the same switched power bar, and use the switch on the power bar to switch off both the R-PI and hub at the exact same time.
Also, always shutdown using the software shutdown function, not by pulling the plug. When not using a GUI, (with a GUI use the GUI command) you can use the command "shutdown -h now", and power off when all the LED's on the board (except the power LED) go off. This is especially important the first time you boot, as in the process the R-PI modifies the content of the SD-card, without a clean shutdown the contents of the card may be damaged.
The RPi may take a long time to boot when powered-on for the first time, so be patient, and cleanly shutdown afterwards, as described above!

Ballpark Bus to Nationals Park appears to be here to stay.
Since we first wrote about the venture, which aims to give suburban Nats fans a new transportation alternative, the fledgling company has established pricing, lined up its first five official Ballpark Bus Stations, and begun taking reservations at www.BallparkBus.com with ticket prices as low as $15/game.
"The response we've received from Nats fans has been excellent," said co-founder Brian Bowman. "As baseball season creeps closer and closer, we expect our reach to expand exponentially."
Initial demand was strongest in suburban Virginia, where all five of the first Ballpark Bus Stations are located. They include Clyde's restaurant in Ashburn, The Greene Turtle in Ballston, Velocity Five in Centreville, Glory Days Grill in Reston/Herndon, and The Greene Turtle in Sterling.
"A lot of folks in Maryland are asking when they're getting a station, particularly along I-270," added Bowman. "They can rest assured that we are looking at several potential locations."
How it works
The Ballpark Bus system is modeled after regional bus models, where discounts are provided for booking early and routes are added based on meeting a minimum level of demand.
Reservations for each series will open three weeks prior to the first game, and those booking in the first three days of availability get a discounted price. Riders can sign up for email alerts to get notified when discount tickets go on sale for future series.
What if they don't hit the minimum number of riders? Bowman says if they are unable to reach the minimum, they will notify all reservations via e-mail "several days before your game." No payments are processed until the bus is confirmed. When a bus is confirmed, tickets are sent via email and remaining seats are sold up until game day.
Bowman says participating restaurants are playing a big part in getting the word out, as they try to establish themselves as suburban hubs for Nationals fans. At least one, the Greene Turtle in Sterling, is offering 20% off food purchases when you show your Ballpark Bus ticket.
Expect the Ballpark Bus team to try to inject a little fun for riders as well, such as a free Ryan Zimmerman autographed baseball for one lucky rider to the Nats home opener. "We'll be doing fun stuff like that all year," says Bowman, "Guess how many strikeouts Strasburg will have on the way to the game, and we'll reward gift cards and other prizes to the winners on the way back home."

If you've ever wondered what rhythmic gymnastics would look like if Olympic athletes had to wear 10 foot high, 45 pound costumes, the answer arrived with gusto Thursday night at Nationals Park.
After race walking and fencing through the first two matches of the series, the Rushmore Four continued to push the envelope with their week of Olympic tributes, entering the field carrying ribbons and performing a presidential rendition of rhythmic gymnastics.
"Good form and execution by George," intoned Nationals P.A. announcer Jerome Hruska. "Wonderful control of the apparatus by Teddy."
The presidents then paused in front of the visitors bullpen for invidual displays. "That's a 10 for George," Hruska continued as Washington twirled from the ground. Teddy received "a slight deduction," but the reasons weren't clear.
The presidents then took off towards the finish line, but Teddy, Abe, and Tom got tangled up in ribbons, and George Washington leapt to victory.
"George gets the gold," added Nationals broadcaster Bob Carpenter
on the MASN broadcast. "My greatest challenge as the Nationals TV announcer doing play by play is making sense of the presidents race," he added. "Baseball is a simple game compared to that."

Congressional aides do not expect her to testify as scheduled at congressional hearings on Thursday into the Sept. 11 attack against a U.S. diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador.I'm sorry if she's really sick and that she hurt herself, but I do not accept her weaseling out of the Benghazi hearings.
ADDED: As several commenters have noted, these physical ailments, used as excuses for stepping up to duty, are damaging to her image as a potential presidential candidate. Will she be up for the 3 a.m. phone call? I can only think of 2 reasons why her people would let us hear this story that she fainted, addled her pate, and can't face up to Congress on Benghazi: 1. She's not going to run for President, or 2. What she would have to say about Benghazi is more damaging than this effort to avoid testifying.

Movie review: A well-spun 'Spider-Man'
What happens when your head gets too big for your Spidey mask? If it happens in "Spider-Man: Homecoming," plan on a helluva fantastic time. Although Spidey might well disagree. He takes a beating physically and emotionally, as we watch him hilariously struggle through the growing pains of learning — the hard way — that great responsibility comes with great power.
It marks the start of the third "Spider-Man" franchise in 15 years — exactly the age of Spidey himself in "Homecoming," a double-entendre title representative of both the anxieties the recently deputized member of The Avengers feels as his school's big social event nears and the web-slinger's shift away from Columbia Pictures to his more natural surroundings at Marvel Studios. And the move to warmer climes not only rejuvenates the kid; it makes him the new king of the Marvel Universe. See "Homecoming" and tell me there's an Avengers character you love more. I don't expect to hear from you because I know I'm right. And I'm right because the magnificent Tom Holland proves I am with a performance that turns the charm and charisma up to 11.
But then, you already know that from that little tease he provided in last year's equally terrific "Captain America: Civil War," when Iron Man asked Stark Industries' No. 1 intern to help out with that little in-house mess over in Germany. In case you don't remember, director Jon Watts ("Cop Car") niftily reminds via a crude iPhone video Holland's Peter Parker filmed during the showdown with Chris Evans' Captain America at Leipzig-Halle International Airport. Peter is dying to show it to his fellow brainiacs at his school in Queens — one girl in particular. Her name is Liz (tall, willowy and gorgeous Laura Harrier), the certified fox Peter longs to invite to homecoming. His urge to show and tell grows exponentially when he overhears her telling her besties she's got a mad crush on the latest YouTube sensation, Spider-Man.
What's a masked superhero to do? That's for you to find out, but suffice it to say that if you're a fan of John Hughes movies like "Sixteen Candles," you're in for a treat. But unlike Molly Ringwald, Peter has more on his plate than just the heartbreak of amore. He also has a nasty underground arms manufacturer to deal with in Michael Keaton's Adrian Toomes, the owner-operator of a New York City salvage company. In cleaning up the wreckage from the alien attack at the end of "The Avengers," Toomes happens upon a pile of junk with special otherworldly powers that will not only make him rich, they'll soon make him The Vulture.
The script — credited to more writers than there have been actors playing Spidey — has fun with Keaton sprouting mechanical wings, ala his Oscar-nominated character in "Birdman." Only difference is that Vulture is no hero; he's a menace. And despite orders from Tony Stark (an underused Robert Downey Jr.) not to get involved, Peter unilaterally chucks the training wheels off his multi-million-dollar spider suit and goes after Toomes full bore.
Like those old grainy videos of the pioneers of aviation you've seen lifting off and then rapidly crashing in a heap, Spidey sustains his own string of spectacular rough landings; in turn putting innocents — including his beloved Liz — in lethal jeopardy. These result in the film's two best action scenes: One atop the Washington Monument; and the other aboard the Staten Island Ferry in the shadow of The Statue of Liberty. To say more would be unfair. Just know you'll be sufficiently wowed. Being that Watts, like Peter, is just getting used to his new powers as a big-time director with millions of dollars of electronic toys at his disposal, there are moments when he overextends himself and falls smack on his face. Most of those occasions occur during the flat, indecipherable fight scenes, particularly one aboard a crashing Stark transport jet that makes a shambles of a large section of Coney Island.
Luckily, those are few and far between. The meat of "Homecoming" is Peter's coming of age in the worst environment known to man: High school. Like any other skinny, nerdy geek packing a tube of Clearasil, Peter is targeted by bullies calling him Penis Parker. And the teasing only gets worse when the rumor is floated that Peter is good friends with Spider-Man. The source of that juicy gossip is Peter's best pal, and the film's best asset, Ned (a breakout turn by newcomer Jacob Batalon). He's chubby, wears a fedora and likes to build Death Stars out of LEGOs. Girls don't exactly go for him. But landing a hot girlfriend like Liz isn't as important to him as ascending to the role of "the man in the chair." You know, the guy who coordinates superhero missions from behind a bank of nifty computer screens back at headquarters.
For me, the awkward Peter-Ned bromance forms the basis for everything "Homecoming" is: Clever, smart, knowing and utterly relatable to every kid who suffered through high school by being labeled "uncool." The irony is that Ned might not be hip in the eyes of his classmates and members of his national champion academic club, but he's supercool to us. In many ways, Batalon and Holland remind me a lot of Michael Cera and Jonah Hill in "Superbad"; nerds who get the hippest girls — not because their handsome, but because they're smart and sincere. And it's that non-stop sincerity that fuels this "Spider-Man" more than any before it. And that's all because of Holland.
Unlike Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield (both in their late 20s) before him, Holland looks like a real kid — probably because he is (19-years-old during filming), and that fact solves one of the biggest problems with the web-slinger's previous incarnations. Same for Peter's love interests: Liz and his not-so-secret admirer, Michelle (a glammed down, but still beautiful Zendaya). They both look like real high school kids, cementing an air of believability in a film that makes a mockery of gravity and physics.
Another welcome correction to the "Spidey" oeuvre is "Homecoming's" diverse cast, which includes African-Americans like Harrier, Zendaya and Bokeem Woodbine (the scene-stealer from Season 2 of "Fargo") as Toomes' right-hand man; and a Filipino-American in Batalon. We also get a handful of AARP-card holders in Downey, Tyne Daly, Marisa Tomei (firing off the film's best line) as Peter's Aunt May, and the film's best scene-stealer, "Iron Man" director Jon Favreau as Happy Hogan, the flustered liaison between Peter and his chief benefactor, Tony Stark. And speaking of oldies but goodies, Chris Evans also pops up in a series of humorous cameos as the ageless Captain America; appearing in PSAs intended to keep rebellious high school kids on the straight and narrow.
Best of all, Holland's Spidey isn't overburdened with mind-numbing angst. He's just a normal stupid, unsophisticated kid with ambitions that exceed his reach. He's also self-deprecating and self-aware. He knows who he is, what he wants and what he needs — he just isn't old enough yet to get it. The results are a funny, candy-colored story that comes front-loaded with heart and joy. Sure, there are moments of darkness courtesy of Keaton's megalomaniac, but for most of its zippy 2-hour runtime, "Homecoming" is great family fun, with a valuable moral about achieving the greatest superpower of all — maturity.
"Spider-Man: Homecoming"
Cast includes Tom Holland, Michael Keaton, Robert Downey Jr., Marisa Tomei, Jacob Batalon, Zendaya, Laura Harrier and Donald Glover.

The Labor Department said Thursday that the less volatile four-week average increased by 2,500 to 348,250.
Applications are a proxy for layoffs. Since January, they have fallen 6 percent. That suggests companies are cutting fewer jobs.
At the same time, hiring has been steady, despite an increase in taxes on Jan. 1 and steep federal spending cuts that began in March. Solid consumer spending and a rebound in housing have helped the economy weather the fiscal drag.
Jennifer Lee, an economist at BMO Capital Markets, said the increase in applications makes it less likely that hiring will accelerate this month but job growth remains moderate.
"The overall U.S. labor market is improving," Lee said.
Employers added 175,000 jobs in May, nearly matching the average monthly gain for the past year. The unemployment rate ticked up to 7.6 percent from 7.5 percent, but for a good reason: More Americans were confident they could find work and began searching for a job.
The Federal Reserve on Wednesday offered a brighter outlook for the job market and economy. Chairman Ben Bernanke said the Fed is likely to reduce its bond purchases later this year and end them in the middle of next year if the economy continues to strengthen.
The Fed expects the unemployment rate will fall to between 6.5 percent and 6.8 percent by the end of 2014. That's lower than their March forecast of 6.7 percent to 7 percent.
About 4.5 million Americans received unemployment benefits in the week ending June 1, the latest data available. That's 18,000 more than the previous week. But the number of recipients has fallen 28 percent in the past year. Some have likely gotten jobs, but many have used up all the benefits available.
The Labor Department said last week that more Americans quit their jobs in April compared with March. That points to confidence in the job market, since most workers don't quit until they have another job or are sure they can find one. More quits also opens up jobs for other workers, or the unemployed, to take.
Also last week, a survey of chief executives at the largest U.S. companies showed that they are more optimistic about sales in the next six months and plan to add more workers.

The line between a hoarder and a creative collector is very delicate. I'm beginning to see how wobbly I walk that line. It may have to do with the intention behind it. The last few weeks in the process of moving my daughter into my house has had me looking at that line a lot more closely.
I've emptied a closet full of crafting and fabric tubs, as well as the linen closet to make room for my daughter. She brought her bed, linens, dresser, while I provided an emptied bookshelf. Everything on the bookshelf had to go…somewhere.
We have both moved so much stuff last month that it's giving each of us pause. Boxes have been filled for donation. She sold most of her furniture with only two cherished pieces in storage for now. More will be sold at the summer yard sale.
I managed to give away the queen bed and frame that was my guest bed to a young couple. My daughter's box springs came to the house, her old mattress went to the dump. My sister and I took care of that. We are so proud of ourselves for all the lifting and maneuvering of heavy obstacles at our age and in our condition. My sister loves trips to the dump; chatting up everyone who works there with her friendly nature. Couldn't have done this without her.
When expected help didn't show up, my daughter and I looked at each other and decided we would manage on our own to move the last heavy item. Then there was the cleaning of 3 years' worth of living in 400 square feet with appliances older than my daughter. We also had the free use of a moving van to move her stuff in storage closer to my house where she will have easy access to go through and continue to purge. We didn't need a truck that large by any stretch of the imagination but she had fun driving it just to say she could do it. There is something very empowering in doing things you didn't think you could do before.
We were both so tired that meals were catch-as-catch-can. To be honest, I didn't know how exhausted I was getting until it was all done. Then it caught up with me big time. I went down for a week and could do nothing but sleep. Eating wasn't going well either. So, I've been taking some gentle time for myself and doing next to nothing. Trying to read and leave comments was a short-term project most days and I'm not sure I was totally coherent nor were my comments. After a fair amount of rest with some exercise for good measure, we are both beginning to feel human again. The next move is up to someone else.
Do you ever have the tendency to push your limits too far? What do you do to recover? Did you find yourself purging excess in this first month of the year?
From my heart to yours,
Marlene Herself

YMCA Family Fitness Fun Run invites everyone to get active
TAUNTON — The Old Colony YMCA in Taunton is gearing up for its first ever Family Fun Run, to be held Saturday, June 28, at 11 a.m.
Stephanie Mancini, Executive Director of the Taunton Branch, said that this first family fun run is part of a larger movement to "diversify our offerings and make the Y more appealing to families. We also think it's important to incorporate health and wellness into events that families can participate in as a whole."
The event will feature a one-mile run starting and finishing at the YMCA. There is a $25 entrance fee per family, which includes the run, pizza and ice cream, and open swim at the YMCA's pool.
Dina Swanson, of Somerset, a member of the YMCA Board of Governors and an attorney at Wynn & Wynn P.C. in Raynham, makes time in her busy schedule for family togetherness and fitness.
"At the Y, there is a focus on teaching children about the importance of keeping kids active and healthy," said Swanson, a mother of two young girls. "This day is a way for families to do something together, have fun and get active."
The YMCA is committed to providing services to the community and extensive programs for its members, and since joining the Board of Governors, Swanson has seen and admired the great scope of these programs.
"The Y offers scholarships for kids to go to camp who would otherwise be unable to afford it, a Livestrong program for cancer survivors, and a number of other programs that help those in our community in need," Swanson said.
In order to do so, the YMCA depends on donations and generous contributions to its Annual Campaign.
This year's Fun Run will not only promote family wellness; Mancini views it as "a great opportunity to help raise funds for our Annual Campaign. The Annual Campaign is crucial to our community and with these funds we are able to help subsidize child care, memberships and programming for adults and youth."
The Family Fun Run aims to bring the community together once more.
Mancini said the YMCA is "excited to partner up with Wynn & Wynn for this special event. Wynn & Wynn is the primary sponsor of this event and will be providing volunteers the day of the race. It's fun to get other partners of the community to work together for a great cause."
Before the run begins, families can warm up with some dancing with DJ Zoom and learn the proper way to stretch before exercising. Those participating in the run can also walk or stroll in order to complete it.
Swanson is "looking forward to a great day."
After the race, families are welcome to check out the Y's pool, which also has a kids' pool area.
Pizza will be served thanks to Tom & Jimmy's of Taunton, and Webster Bank is funding ice cream sundaes to be provided by Tom & Jimmy's.
Every participant will get a water bottle and certificate of achievement, and the event is open to all families in the community and for all levels of fitness.
"You don't have to be a marathoner to join this event. All are welcome!"
Families can register for the Fun Run at the YMCA at 71 Cohannet St. in Taunton, Wynn & Wynn at 90 New State Highway in Raynham, or online at: g2racereg.webconnex.com/taunton1in2014.

Former Destiny's Child member arrested
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- A former member of the R&B group Destiny's Child was arrested in Myrtle Beach over the weekend after a night drinking with two football players, according to authorities.
Online records show Farrah Franklin, 33, was booked into the Horry County jail just before 5 a.m. Sunday on a charge of disorderly conduct.
According to police reports, Franklin had been drinking with Daquan Bowers and Ricky Sapp, both former Clemson University football players who are now in the NFL. Bowers -- now a defensive end with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- told Horry County Police he had flown Franklin into town from her home in California to spend time with him.
The three went out drinking Sunday and went back to Sapp's home, according to police. Both men told police Franklin was highly intoxicated and that she was "yelling, slamming doors and refused to stop when asked."
Bowers and Sapp, an outside linebacker with the Houston Texans, called police after she refused to calm down. Officers said they found Franklin lying in a neighbor's yard and the woman told police she "did not have anywhere else to go and was planning on sleeping in the woods."
Franklin was released from jail around noon Sunday after posting $280 bond.
Court records listed no attorney for her, and no phone number for her could be found.
Franklin and Michelle Williams joined Destiny's Child to replace two original members in 2000.
Franklin left the group months later, and the remaining trio served to launch the solo careers of Williams, Kelly Rowland and Beyonc.
